Meowllo everypawdy. Hope you’re ready fur da weekend. It’s officially spwing and tornado season in tornado alley. We have sure had da wedder lately. And weez have also had lots of power twubbles. Y just yesfurday it looked like nighttime all day long. And da power kep flickerin’ on and off. So we didn’t hawdly get on da puter at all. We be so fwustrated wiff all this. We have sum Fank yous we need to post and weez also been researchin’ sumfin big fur an educational posty. But weez wanna wait on those till we donn’t have to rush to make a posty. At da moment it’s dawk outside and da middle of da day, so while it’s a little calm so weez twyin’ to get this out afur it all stawts up again. See yesfyrday got weal innerestin’ round here. As me sed it was dawk and we knew stowms were on da way. Da power had been flickerin’ on and off all day and every time it wuld go out, mommy wuld gwit her teef and ask God to make it come back on. And it did. Until…Well let me just tell ya’ in full detail.

Mommy had twied to get sum of dat calmin’ stuff in me to no avail. And da power hadn’t flickered in a kupple hours so mommy fawt all was good. She had been dwinkin’ coffee which, well it runs fwu her like no udder dwink duz so she headed to da pawdee box room to…well you know. Anyways, Lexi jumped up on da vanity and wanted mommy to turn da water on fur her. Of course dat’s zactly what mommy did. And then she pulled down hers bwitches and… 

 dw Dezi hugs

Lexi: Why are you getting’ to tell da story Dezi? What do you know about how fings went? After all…  

Cuz it be meez name on da bloggy sissy. Me dusn’t have to tell everypawdy dat me was so scared me was hidin’ in da recliner. Oh hey, y’all awe still here. Well dat’s okay me finks you all wulda been purrlenty scared too. Da wind was blowin’ ‘bout 70mph and rain was fallin’ so hawd it sounded like drums. So on wiff meez story. Let’s see…yeah mommy had just sat down and there was a big ole funder boomer and da power went out. Well there awe absolutely no windows in our pawdee box room at all. And da small window in da bedroom off da pawdee box room has black curtains and a black film on it to make da room cool and dawk fur sleepin’. So there was mommy in a not so furtuitous pawsition, and Lexi on da vanity slingin’ water everywhere and suddenly it’s pitch black. Mommy sed, “Oh Lord please turn the power back on.”

Mommy sat there a minute tryin’ to member where da flashlights were; we have a kupple little $1.00 LeD flashlights and da one me won fwum Cat Scouts. Mommy waited anudder minute afur gwopin’ wound fur toilet paper and such and then she told Lexi to stay put. Yeah wight. Tell a service cat to let you walk fwu a dawk house by yous selff. Like dat’s ever gunna happen. MOL And yes even me came out fwum unner da chair to find mommy. So here’s mommy lookin’ like a zombie wiff hers awms out in fwunt waivin’ fwum side to side hopin’ not to run into anyfin’ and Lexi and me hot on her heels. Mommy finally reached da bed and felt round on da vanity beside it fur a flashlight. She knocked a few fings round but finally got da flashlight and pushed da on button. It came on and then went out. OMC Da batteries were dead. So mommy turned wound and almost stepped on me. She only missed me cuz me moved outta da way, anudder service cat technique. And off we all went to da livin’ room to find anudder flashlight. Lexi ran on ahead of mommy and me but steered clear of mommys huge feet. Mommy felt round and finally found a light and pushed da button to turn it on and…OMC it’s da red dot. MOL Now’s where it kuld get innewestin’ wight?

 dw Dezi love - 2HEoW-1e3 - normal

It kulda, but bein’ service cats we know da job comes afur play. So we totally ignored da red dot and mommy flashed it everywhere lookin’ fur candles. We finally got a candle lit in every room and mommy went to ask da neighbors ifin anypawdy had reported da outage. All these old peeps sittin’ outside in da dawk and pourin’ rain and sed, “they’ll get to us. We sure hope it’s soon. The hospital’s next door so surely they’ll get us up at the same time.” Well furstly da hospital has generators and we don’t, and secondly weez not on da same line. So mommy came back in and had to go dig in da dawk closet to find da old fashioned fone dat works wiffout lectwicity. They finally got our power back up wight at dinner time. Whew, we was worried mommy wuldn’t be able to see to feed us. Which bwings us to anudder update dat weez’ll be postin’ ‘bout shortly. We just gotta get fwu these stowms. Oh and weez be joinin’ up wiff da Pet Pawade Blog Hop as always. Fanks fur hostin’ yous guys. We do so luv our Pet Pawade. And we purraelly won’t be ablle to get online tomorrow so weez gunna join up wiff Athena’s Caturday Awt a day early.

Appalling Tuesday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.46 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy sure hope yous getting’ more sun puddles than us. Weez turnin’ into fish here. Weez gunna furget how to use da ‘puter ifin weez not able to get on it soon. Altho’ mommy did purromise Lexi dat even ifin it’s stormin’ we wuld celebrate hers Meowday/birffday tomorrow. After all it’s not everyday dat she’s gunna turn sweet sixteen. So just in case you need a reminder, yous all invited to da pawrty tomorrow. And speakin’ of Lexi, she’s duin’ okay. She ate real good yesfurday and weez hopin’ fur lots more days of dat kind of eatin’. She’s also been actin’ a bit feisty da last kupple of days since she stawted takin’ hers vitamin B-12. 

 dw Lexi moon on sea

We did read a most horrible story in da news ‘bout a Texas VET. Seems a young female Vet posted ‘bout hers purroud moment when she killed a “feral” neighborhood cat with an arrow to the head. Turns out said “feral kitty” wasn’t feral at all and in fact belonged to a neighbor. No, we won’t be postin’ da foto. We awe outraged ‘bout this. Yes, we be frum da Souff and we believe in da right to bear arms. We believe in da right to defend ourselves and to kill to eat, but we be fightin’ a town full of ignorant people dat fink a bullet is still da answer to animal over pawpulation and here’s a VET dat’s posed to luv animals and has gone to school to learn how to make their lives better and she’s killing without regard. Cuz feral or not, dat kitty didn’t deserve to die. Specially not dat way. We find it even more upsetting dat da clinic where she worked didn’t fire her till after da public outcwy fur justice. It’s not like this was sumfin’ she was hidin’. She posted her elation along wiff da foto on hers Facebook page. What is wrong wiff peeps?!!! This is just anudder reason we believe the penalties fur animal cruelty need to be stiffer.

 dw Dezi in wave

We awe so gwateful to belong to such a wunnewful community wiff peeps hoo luv their animals and fight fur animals every chance they have. We purray fur da furmily of dat poor kitty and all da stray and feral fur babies out there fwu no choice of their own. We beg you all once again, to purrlease keep your cats inside. You never truly know hoo is out there or what their agenda might be. On dat note hold them a little tighter and tell them you luv them once more than usual. See you tomorrow fur sis Lexi’s pawrty.

Service Kitty Havin’ Fun

Published on by Service Cats U.S.78 Comments

Meowllo evewypawdy, and a happy Tuesday to yous all. A while back meez posted ‘bout meez new hawness and showed yous all fotos of me wearin’ it and luvin’ it. And then a bit later me told yous all dat mommy had put it on me duwin’ a weally bad stowm we had and it seemed to help me. Specially since me hates da fundershirt and won’t keep it on so weez hav no idea ifin it wuld work. Well meez has sum new furiends since then and sum of them awe workin’ on leash and hawness twainin’ and sum awe workin’ on becomin’ Therapy animals, so me fawt me wuld make a little posty ‘bout me and meez hawness ifin nuffin’ else to giv their hoomans hope dat sumday their furbabies will be stwuttin’ their stuff too. Smile 

Mommy cleaned da hutch and meez lookin' at meez weflection in da window.

As yous know me and sis Lexi awe Service cats. Now dat’s not da same as a Therapy or Companion animal and we covered those distinctions early on, and yous can read dat posty here. Anyways, pawt of bein’ a workin’ animal wegardless of which one yous awe is dat yous will hav to go outside and twavel wiff yous hooman at sum point. And yous gunna hav to wear a leash. Well what dat leash is attached to can be numerous fings, but mommy purrfurs and so duz me, da harness. And weez purrfur da jacket style hawness ovew da fin stwappy ones. Ifin yous hav a badge it can be attached or sewn onto yous jacket hawness much easier. Mommy wuz gunna sew meez Service badge on meez hawness, but hers decided to attach it to da stwoller instead, cuz meez always in there when weez go out unless weez awe visitin’ sumpawdy. But meez job is to take cawe of mommy. And cuz she found out it works so well when weez hav stowms. Sumtimes da badges make them a little stiff. So meez badge is on da stwoller and meez can wear da hawness anytime fur any weason.

Yep yous read wight. It's stormin' and meez not hidin'. Meez luvvin' me hawness mowe evewyday.
Yep yous read wight. It’s stormin’ and meez not hidin’. Meez luvvin’ me hawness mowe evewyday.

And guess what? Meez been wearin’ it a lot lately. Weez been havin sum pawful stowms here. Let me tell ya’ they’ve been so pawful even mommy’s been jumpin’ sum and not able to sleep fwu them. Mommy sez da funder and lightning has been so loud and stwikin’ so close to ow pawtment dat even hers has been a little worried. See weez hav nuffin’ but woods behind ow pawtment and lots and lots of twees. Mommy sez all those tall twees awe like a bunch of lightnin’ rods. It’s a fire waitin’ to happen. And hers been so excited ‘bout hers new chair dat yous all helped get hers, she hasn’t wanted to leav it. MOL But fur meez new and yous older furiends too we took a little video of me and meez hawness duwin’ a wecent stowm. Da idea bein’ don’t giv up. Even ifin yous kitty dwops like dead weight when yous first put da hawness on ‘em, keep da faiff. A foo minutes a day at first and work up fwum there. Once kitty is comfy wiff da hawness, attach da leash and leav it fur a foo minutes a day. Eventually add yous selff to da udder end and work up to goin’ outside. But purrlease member to tweat yous kitty fur fleas and all da dangers and hazards of outside life afur yous take them out into da big bad world. And make suwe yous kitty has tags, a micwoship or tattoo. Sum form of identification in da event of da worst. And when weez say tattoo, weez not mean “awt”. Lexi has an ID tattoo in hers ear, cuz when she wuz little dat wuz da pawpular method of id’in’ an animal. It wuz like da purrcursor to da micwochip. Which sis Lexi and me also hav. So hope yous enjoy da video and good luck in yous endeavors.

And a small update, all da boxes awe unpacked, and now mommy’s twyin’ to get evewyfin’ put back where it belongs. Mostly knick knacks and such, but cuz hers keeps twyin’ to be too many places at once and hers awfur-itis is actin’ up cuz of all da rain,  she just hasn’t had enuff time yet to get it dun. But don’t worry, weez member yous all wanna tour da house and da new stuffs. 🙂

Ifin yous ca’t see da video purrlease click here.

Weez also wanna fank Savannah and hers mommy Ms. Linda fur sponsewin’ da fundwaiser to get mommys chair and sum pet steps and a new dwy mattress fur ow bed.  Weez had kinda stalled fur a foo days, but da fundwaiser is still goin’ and all funds awen’t yet raised, so purrlease check it out here. And meez wants to say a meowsy big Fank yous to Spitty the Kitty fur hims donation and purrayers. 

Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!
